Why not just get a package from AlienBOB's repo? Here's libreoffice, or you can build it from SBo, here.

Hello. Welcome to LQ.
The version of OO that you installed (go-oo) is now merged with Libreoffice. Use this link to download Eric's LibreOffice package. It works very well with 13.1.
Regards,
Bill

Curses! Beaten again!

OK, but that is still OpenOffice. In a lot of folks opinions, mine included, LibreOffice is better.

Bill is probably right, but I'm still getting bugs with Libreoffice (funny-looking menus and my customizations not staying put from session to session). For the time being, I'm sticking with OpenOffice from Robby Workman's repository until another release or two of Libreoffice proves to me that it's stable and works 100%.

I actually make money writing magazine articles, so I need for my word processor to be absolutely reliable.

Libreoffice is probably the future, but for me, the present belongs to OpenOffice.

Regards,

Not having any luck using the current Open Office (3.3.0) version and modifying the SlackBuild script to build a package based on the tar downloaded from Open Office.

I modified VERSION in the SlackBuild to reflect the newer tar, but no luck. When running the slackbuild script, I get:

mv: cannot stat `desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.3.0-freedesktop-menus-3.3.0-9502.noarch.rpm': No such file or directory

Any thoughts?

Get the updated script for LibreOffice from the git repo: http://slackbuilds.org/gitweb/ or from here.

The OpenOffice SlackBuild is no longer maintained.

I've recently migrated from OpenOffice to LibreOffice and am happy with the switch.

The revision number (here is 9502) is changed from version to version. To get the accurate number, you need to dig into the extracted folder, then change it accordingly in the SlackBuild.

You are installing the 64bit package of OpenOffice It looks like you are running a 32bit version of Slackware, because the error "cannot execute binary file" is a typical symptom of this.

wow

apparently I am too swamp on my project management job that i pass this out.

Last night i formated my pc (fscked up the kde4) and it just feel simplier... now i have no office suite and a bunch of stuff to do... (netbook is kickin ass but there is a reason why i have a 64 bits desktop at home)


now the dilemma...
shall i keep fighting with openoffice slackbuild or just move on to libreoffice?



decisions.. decisions..decisions..

The SlackBuild for OpenOffice won't receive updates.
Check out LibreOffice - it's stable now.

The SlackBuild has been updated for version 3.3.2: http://slackbuilds.org/result/?searc...office&sv=13.1

wel
I've test it and it feels just like OpenOffice... Same bugs when opening MS Office documents (specially the docx and xlsx files)

anyways.. it does the job and taking into consideration that this is LIBRE (as in free) with no attach to any company or whatever... it is time for me to make a little donation.
